WWE wrestler Randy Orton turned 40 years old on April 1, and his wife, Kim, celebrated by playing a prank on him. She posted a video on Instagram that showed Orton opening presents under her direction. She specifically told him to open a smaller gift, which happened to be a pregnancy test.
Once Orton opened the gift, a flurry of emotions was put on display. He later explained that he was happy and then terrified. However, he ultimately realized that she actually wasn’t pregnant due to Kim laughing at him. He later posted a photo of the incident on his account and said that “payback’s a bโ.” Although he did find it funny that his daughter Brooklyn had discovered how pregnancy tests work.

“You are too late kim his birthday was on 1st April,” one confused fan posted on Instagram. Another countered by explaining that posting the video on April 1 would have given the prank away.
Another fan pointed out that Kim certainly knows when her husband’s birthday is considering that she was also born on April 1. They get to celebrate with each other every single year.ย
